Additionally, this CU resolves the following issues.

Issue 1

When you check in some files to TFS 2010 source control, the files are not copied automatically to the custom assembly path for the build controller and its agents.Note If you restart the build service manually, the files are copied immediately.

Issue 2

You encounter one of the following performance issues in TFS 2010 after you install hotfix 2564498:

The Identity Management Service (IMS) of the TFS server is rolled back after the database is restored from a backup. When you try to synchronize work item tracking (WIT) from the server, a time-out error or an out-of-memory error may occur.

When you have many team projects in a single collection, and then you try to insert or update a work item, a time-out error occurs on the server. Or, the server responds much more slowly than usual.

It takes a long time to connect to a team project from Microsoft Excel or from Microsoft Project.

Issue 3

When you run an application that uses the WorkItemStore.BatchSave method to save a work item, you receive the following error message:

TF237079: Team Foundation could not update the work item because it was already updated by another user, it does not exist, or you do not have permission to update it.

Issue 4

Build agents do not run the builds that are in a build controller in TFS 2010 as expected, even though the build agents are still listed as available.

Issue 5

When a user's display name in a WIT work item contains a special character, a red X is displayed on the work item, and you receive an error message that resembles the following:

There is an error in XML document (22229, 11664256). ---> System.Xml.XmlException: '', hexadecimal value 0x1A, is an invalid character.
